My outlook express is acting up! When i try and create a new message a pop up
appears stating "A Dialog Box is open. close it and try again" then i close
this down and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. I am able to
recieve messages but unable to reply or create a new ones.

I've tried restrating my computer several times, and even creating a new
account, but the problem still persists, i'm sure theres a simple solution
but i cant seem to reach it?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.
